    ---- Chapter 3041 Andrew''s greatsword red with light again as he stared coldly at Ramon. He growled, "You think you can juste and go as you please? You really think this is some kind of diner or hotel?" Ramon snorted. "If I want to leave, what can you do about it? I might not be able to take down Abyss City, but you sure as hell can''t take me down either!" Andrew shot forward like lightning, shing down furiously. " Let''s find out. We''ll go another round!" Ramon''s anger boiled over.


    He had already backed down ina roundabout way, yet this guy still pressed him so hard, not showing any mercy. He was the pride of the Ludendorff family, the number one fighter beneath Raiden himself. His pride ran deep, forged through countless battles in the Wastnds. Naturally, he could not tolerate Andrew''s repeated provocations. He shouted, "Everyone else, fall back to Aurora City. I''ll cover the rear!" With a roar, Ramon''s fists struck like cannons,unching sphere after sphere of lightning. Explosions erupted across the Wastnds, shaking the ground.


    The two plunged into another deadly battle, shing for over an ---- hour before Andrew finally pulled back. Ramon forced down the urge to cough up blood again and shouted, What? Done already? I told you, you can''t do anything to me!" Andrew looked considerably more rxed, and he suddenly smiled. "That''s about enough. I''m done ying with you." Ramon sneered. "ying tricks, Andrew? You''re almost at your limit too, aren''t you? No need to put on such a tough act." Andrew shrugged. "Think whatever you want. Honestly, killing you would be pretty difficult, but it''s not impossible.


    It''s just that there''s no point in going all-out against you right now. Because I''ve still got to take down Aurora City!" Ramon froze, then scoffed mockingly. "You still want to get your hands on Aurora City? Your appetite is ridiculous. You''re barely holding onto Abyss City as it is. Aurora City? Don''t even dream about it!" Andrew smiled. "Who says I can''t dream? I might as well tell you that right now, Aurora City has already fallen into my hands." Ramon shook his head, dismissing it with contempt. "You''re dreaming!" He took Andrew''s words as pure nonsense.


    Turning around, he raced back toward Aurora City at full speed. ---- As soon as Ramon left, Andrew''s expression tumed cold. The gates of Abyss City opened, and a small strike force charged out swiftly. Leading them were Franz and Knox. Andrew issued his orders coldly. "Target the smaller towns around Aurora City. Once we take these, the Ludendorff family will only have Throne City left, a ce barely holding together. A lone city, waiting for death." Both Franz and Knox were incredibly excited.


    They had never imagined that the Ludendorff family, rulers of the Wastnds and Ounds for 100 years, would be pushed to this point. This was not aplished solely through brute force. If Ramon and his people had stubbornly defended Aurora City, Andrew truly would not have been able to do anything about it. But now, every move had fallen perfectly into Andrew''s calctions. The moment of closing the was the most thrilling Franz and Knox''s blood boiled as they led their warriors and charged forward immediately.


    They had to move faster than the Cathedral''s forces and other factions could react. Otherwise, even if Andrew seeded here and left Ramon in shambles, there was no guarantee others would not swoop in to im a piece of their prize. The Wastnds were full of ---- vultures, and when there was profit to be made, no one would sit idly by. Ramon returned to Aurora City in a rage, frustrated and furious, leading his remaining warriors at full gallop. This ambush attempt hadpletely fallen through. Moreover, it had put Abyss City on high alert.


    There would be no more opportunities like this in the future. Andrew, that cunning bastard, was proving just as difficult to deal with as expected. If he wanted to reim Abyss City, there seemed to be only one path: crush him head-on in directbat. The more Ramon thought about it, the more agitated he became. Fortunately, Aurora City was alreadying into view ahead.
